There were rooms that were locked appropriately with a master lock and other rooms that were mysterious and locked by magnet. In our eyes, the home owner could have been there or anyone else in those rooms. The railing on the top deck was falling off and not safe. It would be easier to fall the from the deck three floors above ground. Lighting in the house was not sufficient.
Pros:*location*amount of space*video games for the kids*patio with a fantastic view*quiet neighborhoodMinuses:*quality of beds*no in home guidebook for people other than the host to access*several outlets didn’t work*stove and oven EXTREMELY slow to cook food *reached out to host to ask a question via phone number provided in online guidebook and never heard back*minimal amentities including one roll of paper towels (which is kind of crazy for a house that holds 20 people). Overall great stay but could definitely use some much needed upgrades

We loved this rental! The deck was relaxing for my morning coffee and the home was very clean which was a must for me. checking in was super easy and the host was easy to talk to!
We had a wonderful stay. We were visiting a school in the area and stayed for just one night. It fit all of us well, was clean, and the location was beautiful. I wish we had more time to stay and I would absolutely stay again.

The home was beautiful with the perfect view. Plenty of room with all the amenities for family to spend time together. The host was very helpful and dependable.
I recently welcomed a new addition to our family and had the pleasure of hosting my in-laws during their visit. The stay was truly delightful, as it catered to the needs of all the children and offered an exceptional view that enhanced our experience.
